Abstract

In this paper we developed approach based on the BFKL evolution in ln\LbQ2\Rb\ln\Lb Q^2\Rb. We show that the simplest diffusion approximation with running QCD coupling is able to describe the HERA experimental data on the deep inelastic structure function with good χ2/d.o.f.1.3\chi^2/d.o.f. \approx 1.3. From our description of the experimental data we learned several lessons; (i) the non-perturbative physics at long distances started to show up at Q2=0.25GeV2Q^2 = 0.25\,GeV^2; (ii) the scattering amplitude at Q2=0.25GeV2Q^2 = 0.25\,GeV^2 cannot be written as sum of soft Pomeron and the secondary Reggeon but the Pomeron interactions should be taken into account; (iii) the Pomeron interactions can be reduced to the enhanced diagrams and, therefore, we do not see any needs for the shadowing corrections at HERA energies; and (iv) we demonstrated that the shadowing correction could be sizable at higher than HERA energies without any contradiction with our initial conditions.
